Sexualities, Textualities, Art & Music in Early Modern Italy
University College Cork, Ireland
18-19 May 2007

Thanks to the work of scholars of civil and canon law, we now have a
fairly nuanced understanding of the complexities of the legal codes
governing sexual behaviour in early modern Italy. This international,
interdisciplinary conference will explore the integration of sexualities
with other aspects of early modern life and the role of writing, art and
music in fashioning and even policing early modern Italian sexualities.

Keynote Speaker: Suzanne Cusick (New York University)

Round Table: Julia Hairston (University of California, Rome Study Centre),
Katherine McIver (University of Alabama, Birmingham), Laura Macy (Editor,
Grove Dictionaries of Music), Guido Ruggiero (University of Miami)

Speakers: Catherine Baxter (Cambridge University), Bonnie Blackburn
(Wolfson College, Oxford), Christophe Brouard, Donna Cardamone (University
of Minnesota), Linda Carroll (Tulane University), Elizabeth Cohen (York
University, Canada), Laura Giannetti (University of Miami), Leofranc
Holford-Strevens, Catherine Lawless (University of Limerick), Covadonga
López de Prado Nistal, Katherine McIver (University of Alabama,
Birmingham), Flavio Rurale, and Laurie Stras (University of Southampton).

Concert: Four Nuns and a Courtesan. Deborah Roberts (soprano) and Siobhán
Armstrong (early harp), with Ian Sexton (organ & harpsichord), give a
recital of ravishing solo vocal music by seventeenth-century Italian
composers.
